Old Testament
On
An ancient Egyptian city, also known as Heliopolis, mentioned in the context of Joseph and divine judgment.
On, identified as Heliopolis in the Septuagint, was a prominent center of Egyptian sun worship. It is historically significant as the home of Asenath, the wife of Joseph, and later appears in prophetic warnings against Egypt. The city serves as a symbol of worldly power and idolatry that ultimately faces the judgment of the Lord.
